The original Star Ocean is back, once again! Star Ocean, (formerly) Enix’s sci-fi action RPG series, never made it to North America in its original 1996 Super Famicom form. But roughly ten years later, the first game would appear on the PSP as Star Ocean: First Departure. This year, Square Enix is bringing that version to modern platforms as Star Ocean First Departure R.
Out of necessity of reviewing the new content, this review contains spoilers for the new “Rin” Route in Catherine: Full Body! If you don’t want spoilers, come back later when you’ve finished the game! The spoiler-free take? It’s a largely appealing game hampered by some mean-spirited and poor writing choices that undermine many of the very things the game is trying to do. It’s 2019, and the world is a very different place than it was towards the beginning of the decade.
